Hand #147: David Pham Doubles Through Dan Harrington

Hand #147 - David Pham has the button, he moves all in for exactly 1 million, and Harrington thinks for about 30 seconds before he calls with 106. Pham flips over A6, and he's a dominant favorite to double up here.

The board comes K5344, and Pham wins the pot with his ace kicker to double up to 2,040,000.

Hand #146: Dan Harrington Doubles Through David Pham

Hand #146 - Dan Harrington has the button, he limps for 200,000, Pham raises to 700,000, and Harrington calls. The flop comes J93, Pham checks, Harrington bets 700,000, Pham moves all in, and Harrington quickly calls with 109 for a pair of nines. Pham shows KQ for a gutshot straight draw with two overcards. Pham is looking for a king, a queen, or a ten.
